What about this example 62.06, -7.27 (sorry cant get the link, openstreetmap.org is down)
it is in Faroe Islands, we only have 1 small airport/aerodrome with 1 short runway (1250m) with few small buildings in the hole country From: Zeke Farwell Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 4:33 AM To: Tag discussion, strategy and related tools ; talk-us Subject: Re: [Tagging] Aeroway=Aerodrome Modifier Tags? Steve, I like this as a possible solution as well. Perhaps the admin_level tag could be used? Same as for boundaries. The challenges in my eyes are not making the tagging scheme overly complicated, and making if verifiable based on physical characteristics. In my opinion OSM only needs three levels max, and maybe two would do it. a.. One would encompass all commercial passenger airports from small to gigantic. Generally even smaller airports are fairly well spaced out, except in very large metropolitan areas where there may be more than one (Chicago has O'Hare and Midway), so these could be rendered at a high zoom level. b.. Another level would encompass minor aerodromes and airfields that don't serve commercial passenger flights but are more than a simple landing strip. They have some buildings and are still sizeable. These could probably be rendered at one or two levels lower. c.. A third level would be only for the most basic aerodromes. Basic runways or landing strips with only very small buildings if any. These would only be of local interest and should be rendered at a relatively low zoom only. We could certainly call these levels 1, 2, and 3 instead of Airport, Airfield, and Landing Strip. I'm just sick of seeing lots of extremely minor landing strips rendered at the same importance as O'Hare International Airport at zoom 15 on the map. Do you think more than three levels are needed? Maybe just two: Large and Small.

Why not: aeroway=aerodrome importance=1 importance=2 etc. Make 5 intercontinental airports and 1 tiny amateur airfields. This also avoids the problem when Podunck Airfield is actually an international airport (yet "aerodrome=airfield" seems more intuitive), and removes a whole bunch of subjective issues to do with the connotations of each name.
